Wearing beautiful jewelry and applying perfume are two of the small pleasures of everyday life. However, few people know that these two seemingly innocuous beauty gestures don't always go well together. Indeed, perfume can damage your jewelry, especially if it's gold-plated or silver. At KubeStore, we care about the longevity of your jewelry, so we'll explain everything you need to know to keep it as beautiful as the first day.
Why is perfume harmful to jewelry?
Perfumes contain alcohol, essential oils and other chemical components which, in regular contact with jewelry, can cause several undesirable effects:
- Plating damage: Gold-plated jewelry, even high-quality jewelry with a 3-micron plating like KubeStore, can lose its shine due to the harsh components of perfume.
- Metal oxidation: Perfume can cause 925 silver jewelry to blacken or oxidize, especially if worn daily.
- Deterioration of finishes: Jewelry with engraved, hammered, or textured details may lose sharpness from exposure to chemicals.
The right steps to take to preserve your jewelry
Fortunately, there are just a few simple steps you need to take to enjoy your perfume without risking damaging your favorite jewelry:
- Apply your perfume before putting on your jewelry. Wait a few minutes for the product to dry completely on your skin.
- Avoid spraying perfume directly on areas where you wear jewelry: wrists, neck, décolleté, etc.
- Store your jewelry in an airtight box or case when not being worn, away from moisture and perfume residue.
- Clean your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth to remove any deposits.
